Trouble with temps
I'm still having trouble with temps. First of all, let me see if i have this right... The best environment for a young adult ball python is, hot side, 90-95 during the day, and 85-90 at night, and the cool side is 80-85 in the day, and 75-80 at night. and the humidity is supposed to stay above 50 (im having no trouble with that). im still having trouble with the warm side getting too hot. It seems like maybe the whole tank needs to be 3-5 degrees cooler. I tried blocking off most of the screen top. still got a little more than 95 in there. Any idea of what i can do? And how can i provide ventilation for a sliding screen top aquarium? i cant just put holes in the sides. im not a breeder or herper or anything, i just want a nice aquarium set up for my snake, no rubbermaids.
the only lamp dimmers i could fine require that i cut into the power cord for the heater, i dont want to risk destroying something i just got the other day for 60 bucks. Are there any sliding lamp dimmers that i can plug directly into a wall, and then plug the heater into it? without messing with any electrical cords?
